CMF by Nothing is Back: Meet the Stunning CMF Phone 2 Pro and New Buds Lineup!
Get ready, tech fans! CMF by Nothing, the sub-brand focused on making great design and technology more accessible, has just dropped its latest lineup, straight from London. Announced today, April 28, 2025, we’re getting a glimpse of the future with the CMF Phone 2 Pro and a trio of new earbuds: the Buds 2, Buds 2 Plus, and Buds 2a.
Let’s dive into what CMF is bringing to the table.
CMF Phone 2 Pro: Your New Daily Driver?
CMF is calling the Phone 2 Pro the “ultimate daily smartphone,” and they’ve packed it with features to back that claim up.
- Refined Design & Build: This is officially the slimmest and lightest phone ever designed, measuring just 7.8mm thin and weighing a mere 185g (that’s 5% thinner than the CMF Phone 1). It boasts a premium feel with an aluminum camera surround, stainless steel screws showcasing the craftsmanship, and improved IP54 water resistance.
- Colour Choices: Choose your style! It comes in White (with a unique panelled sandstone finish), Black, and Light Green (both featuring a frosted glass-like texture and metallic frame), and a bold metallic Orange.
- Pro-Level Cameras: Photography gets a major boost with a four-camera system. The star is a 50 MP main camera with the largest sensor in its class, capturing 64% more light than its predecessor. Uniquely for its segment, it features a powerful telephoto lens that offers up to 20x digital zoom. An 8 MP ultra-wide and a 16 MP front camera complete the setup.
- Upgraded Performance: Powered by the new MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro 5G processor (built on a 4nm process), expect smooth multitasking and efficiency. CMF claims 10% faster processing and 5% better graphics compared to the Phone 1.
- Impressive Display: Get ready for vibrant visuals on the largest CMF display yet – a 6.77″ FHD+ flexible AMOLED screen showing 1.07 billion colours. With HDR, Ultra HDR enhancing highlights significantly, a peak brightness of 3000 nits (50% brighter than Phone 1!), a super-responsive 1000 Hz touch sampling rate, and a smooth 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate, this display aims to be best-in-class.
- All-Day Power & More: The 5000 mAh battery is optimized to last nearly an hour longer than the Phone 1, promising up to two days of use. Plus, a key upgrade arrives: NFC for contactless payments!
- Modularity Continues: Enhance your phone with three new accessories: a Universal Cover, Interchangeable Fisheye and Macro Lenses, and a handy Wallet/Stand.
CMF Audio Refresh: Buds for Everyone
CMF hasn’t forgotten audio, launching three distinct earbuds catering to different needs and budgets:
- CMF Buds 2: Your versatile everyday companion. Features Dirac Opteo tuning for clarity, 48dB hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and a Spatial Audio Effect for an immersive sound experience.
- CMF Buds 2 Plus: For the audio enthusiasts. Steps up with Hi-Res LDAC support, hearing compensation technology, and full EQ customisation for a personalized, rich sound profile.
- CMF Buds 2a: The accessible entry point. Delivers essential quality audio with 42dB ANC, a 12.4mm bio-fibre driver for deep bass, all in a lightweight design.
